Question

If 5/3 of a number is 10, then what is 1.75 times of that number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.75 of that number is 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

$\frac{5}{3}$ of a number is $10$

To find -

$1.75$ times of that number

Solution -

Let , that number is x

We can write given information as,

$\frac{5}{3}\times x= 10$

As, we want to find value of x shift all data of left side to right it becomes $\frac{3}{5}$

It becomes,

$x = 10 \times \frac{3}{5}$

Divide 10 by 5 we get

$x= 2 \times 3$

$x = 6$

∴ The number is 6 .

$1.75$ of that number = $1.75 \times 6$

$1.75$ of that number = $10.50$

So,

1.75 of that number is 10.5

Answer 2

Given: $5/3$of a number is$10$.

We have to find the $1.75$times of that number.

• By using the concept of equation shifting, we are solving the above
• equation.  
• For this, we will separate the variables on one side and the constant on  
• another side.  
• Then, we will simplify the equation.

We are solving in the following way:  

We have,

$5/3$of a number is$10$.

Let assume the number be$x$.

So, from the above statement we can write:

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{3} \times x=10\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{5x}{3} =10\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=10\times3\\\\\Rightarrow5x=30\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{30}{5}$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$\Rightarrow x=6$

Hence, the number will be$6$.

So, $1.75$times of the number will be:

$\Rightarrow 1.75\times 6\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{21}{2} \\\\\Rightarrow 10.5$

Hence, $1.75$times of the number is$10.5$.
